Iowa State inexplicably received one first-place vote in the coaches' poll released yesterday. As if to prove that voter's error, the Cyclones went out and got pounded by K State.

The Cats had 59 rebounds to the Cyclones' 31. Wecker had 26 and 15.

After the game, ISU coach Bill Fennelly called Kendra and the other K State seniors together to tell them how much respect he has for their game.

"They're a very good team and they outplayed us every step of the way," Fennelly said. "There's no excuses, we got outplayed by a better team tonight."
